"This holiday season, we plan to celebrate the community once again with our Center Table event, which was started to not only support our neighbors but also to thank them – many who are frontline workers. As we continue to support our neighbors, we understand the increase in the cost of living continues to impact households, especially our senior citizens," said Trina Terrell-Andrews, CEO of the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center.

The Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center is a multi-purpose facility for youth and families, which provides sports, enrichment, leadership, and community programs. In the past year at the Mark Cuban Heroes Basketball Center, its Center Table Winter Harvest program has provided more than 4,000 meals to families, including the distribution of 1,100 turkeys in November and 550 prepared meals during Thanksgiving week. Further, as part of Center Table Winter Harvest, free chef-prepared meals will be delivered to senior citizens in the Center's surrounding neighborhoods on select dates in December. Prepared by The Bearded Chef and his team, the meals are customized to each individual's preferences and dietary restrictions and include an entrée, two sides, dessert, and tea.
